Abstract

One of the most important Lepidoptera collections in Hungary is deposited in the Museum RipplRónai, Kaposvár. Several private collectors donated their own collections to the museum, the agronomist Béla Herczig is among them. In the present paper the author elaborated the Eupitheciini material of the Herczigcollection, what included 60 species. More than several hundred specimens have been collected in 86 Hungarian localities. The moths were collected at light by the hand of Béla Herczig or by semi-automatic light-traps between the years of 1971 and 1992. The author lists the flight-period data and the collecting localities of the species. In the case of species or species-pairs posing identification problems genitalia examinations have been carried on. After studying, the genital parts were stored in a microvial containing glycerine, which was attached to the same pin as the exemplar. The important observations are given in remarks. The following species are discussed in detail: Eupithecia absinthiata, E. insigniata, E. innotata, E. ochridata. The paper is illustrated by several distributional maps, moth images and genitalia figures.
